Nollywood star actress Stephanie Linus has been to restore hope and put smiles on the faces of women women with Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF)

Since its inception, the goal of the Extended Hands Foundation

The women all had successful surgeries and were nursed back to health at the hospital. Before the surgeries, many of them had been shunned and separated from their families as a result of the embarrassing effects of the condition. Some of them lost their jobs, their husbands, and were forced to live in degrading conditions. Thanks to the successful surgeries, they are now back with their loved ones and are living their dreams. Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a serious disability that can be experienced by women after childbirth.

She commended their effort and pledged her support to the eradication of VVF in Kwara State. The state Commissioner for Health Alhaji Kayode Issah, also received the Extended Hands Foundation and Diamond Bank Team during their stay in Ilorin, commending them as well for their effort. The Extended Hands Foundation with the support of well meaning corporate organisations like Diamond Bank will continue to extend its efforts to women with VVF across other states in the country.
